After this take the houses in rotation. Note particularly the planets therein and the aspects they receive, and judge according thereto.
In judging the effects of New Moons, in addition to the prognostics to be arrived at from the place of such New Moon and from the planetary positions in the various houses, it should be carefully noted that the place of every New Moon should be referred back to the figure for the previous Ingress, and the planetary positions at such New Moon should also be carefully compared with the Meridian, Ascendant and planetary positions at such previous Solar Ingress.
Where the Sun’s Ingress into Aries has rule for a longer period than three months, all other Solar Ingresses occurring with that period will have a secondary influence to such Ingress into Aries, and that of New
Moons following within such period, in addition to being referred to the previous quarterly figure, should also be referred back to the figure for the Sun’s entry into Aries.
For example:-If the figure for the Sun’s entry into Aries only rules for three months, then the New Moons formed within that period are to be referred back to such figure. If it has rule for six months, then the New Moons occurring in the Sun’s entry into Cancer are first of all to be referred to this latter figure, and then finally to the figure for the Sun’s entry into Aries. If it should have rule over a whole twelve months, then each lunation should be referred first of all to the quarterly figure preceding it, and finally to the original figure which has rule over the twelve months.
A further method of prognostication can be made from quarterly figures, and this will give the particular day or dates upon which various events shown in such figure are likely to occur. This is done by watching the transits of the planets, including the Sun, over the places and aspects of the positions at the time of Ingress.
For example:-Suppose the Sun, should be in the seventh house, denoting that Foreign affairs will be prominent during a particular quarter, not, during the period which the figure has rule over, what aspects are formed by the planets thereto; for instance should Mars pass the place of the Sun, then it would denote serious troubles in Foreign relations, or if the Sun or Moon be in the tenth house, and Mars should transit such place, then it would denote illness or death of Royalty or notable people on the days when such transit occurred. The place of each New Moon should also be observed in the quarterly figure in a like manner.
